The marketing guy had a marketing title. Director of Development title leads me to believe he'll be a fundraiser.

Correct.

A Marketing hire is reported to be coming soon. That hire would replace Scott Donnelly.

The Development person replaces a gentleman who left months ago. There is a talented Athletic Department fundraiser who has been reporting into a different group in absence of a senior Athletic Department development supervisor.

If anyone would like an introduction to the athletic development person, please PM me. Softball, WBB, Soccer, Baseball, etc all could use more financial support.

Per the point above about what he will be allowed to do, I think that will be the first assignment. Specifically, he will need to learn and understand the unspoken rules about which past and potential donors he can actually speak to and about which projects. If he doesn't like what he hears, then his second assignment will be to start planning his exit strategy.
